Would like to know whether there exist a clear simple walk through to set CentOS 4 up as a Terminal Server or in the alternate, as a file and print server. I'm new but have googled but come up with some rather complicated issues. I trust someone can help on this forum. Regards All, Jughead

Can you be more specific about what you'd like to do? Do you want to network-boot thin clients as terminals, connect other machines already running X, or use vnc or nx connections - or all of the above? If you are starting from scratch, I'd recommend installing the k12ltsp-modified version of Centos instead of adding the features on yourself. You can find more info at: http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/ and the version to download would be at: ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/4.2.3EL-32bit/iso/ (fedora-based versions are also available).
Also, on the file/print server side, do you want to share files via NFS to other linux/unix boxes or via samba to windows clients or both?
